Backup, restore and disaster recovery — tested, not hoped for.

A backup that hasn't been tested isn't a backup. It's a hope. 60% of SMBs that suffer a major data loss close within 6 months — not because they didn't have backups, but because their backups couldn't be restored in time.

What's holding you back

If at least three of these sound familiar, it's time to talk.

  • Setup-and-forget backups, never tested

  • No defined RPO and RTO — nobody knows how much data and how much time is acceptable to lose

  • Backups on the same system as production (vulnerable to ransomware)

  • No operational disaster recovery plan, just theoretical documents

  • Storage costs growing unchecked through unjustified retention

How we work

We start with a business impact analysis workshop: together with management we define, per system, the RPO (how much data you can afford to lose) and RTO (how fast it must be operational again). These numbers drive the entire design.

We design the 3-2-1-0 strategy: 3 copies of data, 2 different media, 1 off-site copy, 0 errors on verification. We use Veeam, Acronis or cloud-native solutions — choice depends on your stack.

Most importantly: we test restore. Monthly for critical systems, quarterly for the rest. We document real recovery times and adjust until we hit your target RTO. Without testing, backup is just a monthly invoice.

What we deliver

Backup & DR strategy

Business impact workshop + RPO/RTO definition + 3-2-1-0 design.

Veeam / Acronis / Azure Backup implementation

End-to-end configuration with retention policies, monitoring and alerting.

Disaster Recovery as a Service

Cloud secondary site, continuous replication, quarterly tested failover runbooks.

Periodic restore testing

Monthly/quarterly restore test calendar with reporting actual times vs target RTO.

GDPR-compliant archiving

Retention policies aligned to legal requirements, automated deletion after expiry.

How we engage

  1. 1

    Business Impact Analysis

    Management workshop. Define RPO and RTO for each critical system.

  2. 2

    Strategy design

    3-2-1-0 architecture, technology selection, cost calculation (storage + licences + operations).

  3. 3

    Implementation

    Backup configuration, retention policies, monitoring, alerting. Runbook documentation.

  4. 4

    Testing & validation

    First full restore test within 30 days. Ongoing test calendar agreed with you.

  5. 5

    Operations & reporting

    Daily verification, monthly reports, incident escalation, continuous storage optimisation.

What you gain

Contractually guaranteed RTO/RPO

Real numbers, quarterly tested. Not theoretical promises.

Optimised cost

Automatic tiering (hot/cold/archive) reduces invoices by 40-60% vs naive setups.

GDPR compliance

Documented retention and deletion policies, complete audit trail.
